Description
Reporting American at is a three-hour long film documentary exploring the evolution of American war journalism in the twentieth century, from World War II to the Vietnam War. It spotlights various journalists and their stories about reporting from the battlefield. Through these narratives, the documentary further emphasizes the challenges encountered by these reporters and highlights the role of journalism in shaping the course of the war as well as the public understanding.
This documentary features two journalists who are included in our exhibition, Walter Cronkite and Morley Safer along with eight others Vietnam War correspondents. Therefore, I highly recommend "Reporting America at War" to those who are interested in learning more about the role of journalism in modern wars.
